39 weeks.....

Well, I went to my doctor again today even though I was just there last Friday. I went in to get my membranes stripped again and to see if I had dialated more from getting my membranes stripped last Friday. I am now pretty much a 4(is how the doc said it). He stripped my membranes again and boy did it just kill this time! Last time it didn't hurt that bad but this time....oh it hurt. I have been having much stronger contractions all day. Normally they calm down by now(10:00p.m.) but I am still having them. They aren't consistant but strong. I guess i'm just waiting for my water to break! I will be going up and down my stairs like crazy and walking around my home as much as I can. I don't really want to be at a store when my water breaks. Although it would be a pretty dang funny story. I will try to keep you all posted!

Almost 38 weeks.....


This isn't the best picture.....we took this at around 10:30 at night and i looked way too tired to show my face. lol. I am 36 weeks along.

I know I am always talking about this pregnancy but it's of course one of the main things on my mind. I went to my doctor today and i'm now dialated to a 3 and 70 percent effaced. The doctor said that at my next appointment I could get my membranes stripped if I wanted to but he pretty much said that will put me right into labor. He basically said if i'm having contractions that are so bad to where I can't walk or talk then to go straight to the hospital. Which makes sence. When I got to a 4 with Andrew that's when everything went so fast and all of a sudden he was in my arms. We still don't have a name yet and I really think that once we do decide on one..he will come.
I hope all is going well for all of you!

36 weeks and counting....

I went to my doctor yesterday and he said I am dialated at a 2 now and 60% effaced. Which is good because I have progressed and i'm only 36 weeks. I am thinking I will have him early but I could be wrong. I think we might have a name picked out. Alex Thomas Atkinson. Alex and Andrew....isn't that so cute? What do you think?
